I really want to know what's in the Feb Feel Unique box, but can't find out on the web. Someone spill the beans, please!

Covermeup, I take it you got the Becca then? If so, I don't like you!

Did anyone else get the Jolie Box? I will use everything in it - unlike this month's Glossy Box - but I don't think that it was value for money.

I'm still waiting for my 1st Carmine box. The February ones have started to be delivered. Here's a spoiler: www.gemsmaquillage.com/2012/02/carmine-february-2012.html
If I get the same I'll be very happy.

PS If anyone wants to get a Carmine box & is willing to use my link I'd be very happy. www.carmine.co.uk/0FwQT
I'm going to be forced to sell the children soon to fund my new Beauty Box obsession so any steps closer to free boxes will be much appreciated. xxx

Housewife, my Jolie Box arrived this morning - I'm reasonably happy with it - certainly more impressed than I was by the latest Glossy box. Still waiting for my Amarya though.

Housewife2010 · 25/02/2012 16:44

The Amarya boxes are due the first week in March. It'll be my first box from them. This month's Carmine has 3 full size products in it - Steam Cream, Balance Me Shower gel & nail varnish. Also samples of whitening toothpaste, mini lipstick & a Yardley perfume sample

The Carmine Box sounds good this time around , Housewife2010, I wasn't that impressed by the last one, in fact I almost cancelled straight after it arrived

NotMostPeople · 26/02/2012 18:58

Does anyone know anything about the Glossybox mystery box?

PastGrace · 26/02/2012 19:02

I've been on - you get different letters to form a clue, but I think it's one a day and I missed the first few...

Housewife2010 · 26/02/2012 21:18

The Glossybox mystery box all seems a bit of pointless hype. It's the March box & if you're subscribed you get it anyway. They're giving letters everyday to give a clue to the box.

My carmine box is lovely, really pleased with it for a fiver!!
I got:
Full size Andrea Fulerton nail varnish in Eliza (turquoise blue with sparkle, up for swaps if anyone is interested?)
Full size balance me rose otto body wash.
Sample of Yardley Peony perfume,
Full size steam cream in the Capri tin,
Sample size Diego Dallas Palma lipstick in shade 32 (would love to swap for shade 31 if anyone has it?)
Sample size white glo toothpaste.

Other than the You book by latest in beauty this has been my favourite box so far, I'm looking forward to see what the She Said box is like when it arrives, I think they are being dispatched tomorrow.

Housewife2010 · 28/02/2012 19:46

I've started a BB swaps thread if anyone is interested.

Have been following the beauty box threads and decided to sign up for glossybx and when i clicked on the subscription button it just came up with an error. Anyone know why? the 6 monthly and yearly ones didnt just the monthly. Help

Housewife2010 · 29/02/2012 23:21

Quiet Ninja
It may be worth leaving your GB subscription until tomorrow when the March GB is launched. Any orders from 1st March will get the special Harrods edition which contains a Burberry lipstick, Erno Laszlo product, Clarins body lotion, Fendi perfume & something else.
If you would be willing to use my link so that I can get loyalty points, I would be very grateful.

Ooh fab thanks housewife. Fingers crossed it works today. Yeh will loyalty point you up Grin will do later when on computer.

StellaAndFries · 01/03/2012 08:07

It's not working this morning, probably due to high demand, I've found a code too but I don't know if it'll work it's PPGLOSSY12

QuietNinjaLamp · 01/03/2012 08:37

Ok I just tried and got the error again. Will try again later.

QuietNinjaLamp · 01/03/2012 08:41

It comes up with the 6 monthly subscription, can I subscribe with that and then cancel if I dont want to carry on? Will I get refunded for any boxes I dont have? Thanks again

StellaAndFries · 01/03/2012 09:22

It should be working now, if not if you go through the glossy box Facebook page their subscribing link is working, none of my codes are working though Hmm

QuietNinjaLamp · 01/03/2012 10:22

Thanks stella

SimoneD · 01/03/2012 12:16

The first She Said box arrived this morning. Im so disappointed with it. Is anyone else?
I think I will cancel straight away

Housewife2010 · 01/03/2012 13:32

SimoneD

What's in it? Please let us know. I was too late to subscribe for this box, but I've paid £50 for the next 6 months. Hope I lkie them.

OP posts:
SimoneD · 01/03/2012 13:39

Really small 1 application samples
miniature orly nail polish in a light blue colour
comfort zone recover cream & serum
pramae harmony face balm
collection 2000 lip cream in an insipid beige colour
avada shampoo & conditioner - smooth infusion
and a flowering dragon eye tea sample

The feel unique box was so much better Sad

Housewife2010 · 01/03/2012 13:55

Not impressed with Collection 2000 lip cream. I thought it was supposed to be high end samples. I'd never buy that brand

OP posts:
WeightyKaty · 01/03/2012 14:00

I have no idea why they would include something from Collection 2000 - certainly not high end! I got the nail varnish in black which I won't use and I don't drink tea so the teabag is a waste too. I might try the lashes but not generally a fan of them.

I like the night kit and Aveda stuff so will give this 1st box 6/10 and I'm signed up for 6 months so won't be too negative!

Have posted on the BB swap thread if anyone which BB stuff to swap is keen.
